Have you bought all the gorgeous flower books?
Have you taken all the pictures of flowers around you and still feel like you don’t know where to start?
If you love florals but are intimidated by them at the same time, this class is for you!
You’ll learn how to create vector line drawn or colorful flat style flowers, save them for future projects and arrange them in a meaningful birth month bouquet.
You’ll be more comfortable working in Affinity Designer and be confident going into your next project. We will be working in a non-destructive workflow so you can make changes and still have the original design until you’re 100% thrilled with your work. And since they are vectors you can scale them indefinitely - win, win!
In this class you’ll learn…
All about and get ample practice with the pencil tool
How to use simple lines to create gorgeous flowers
About creating an asset library
The power of layer masks and clipping masks
How to add color in a flat style (optional)
A workflow that retains your original work (just in case!)
Why take this class?
Flowers are classic and timeless. They are always in season. Custom art is in demand now and you’ll have a digital means of creating a piece that will be adored for years to come. Affinity Designer is a robust program that will add to your skillset as a hobbyist, illustrator, graphic designer or surface pattern designer. By learning how to work with vectors in Designer your work will be suited for many projects. After taking this class, you could use your own reference images and continue adding flowers to your gallery for a truly one of a kind design.
This class does not have to be taken from start to finish. Feel free to skip around to the flower you like or need. If you'd like to build out a library of flowers for every month they are available to you.
Side note: this class is not a drawing class - it is more of a how to use Affinity Designer class. If you want to learn how to draw flowers from scratch be sure to check out other Skillshare classes.
Who is this class for?
It’s for you! This class is for beginners ready to tackle a new project and those with experience in Affinity Designer V2. I’ve used only stock reference images to help take some of the complexity of flowers off the table. If you like or love flowers and want to learn more about Affinity Designer then you’re in the right place. This class does move at a swift pace!
